3rd annual border bowl

The 3rd Annual Border Bowl features the best 48 high school senior football play- ers from Georgia and the best 48 high school seniors from South Carolina; as chosen by a committee of area coaches. Team Georgia and Team South Carolina played in the “Battle for the Paddle” in early January at Lucy C. Laney Stadium in Augusta, GA. Proceeds from the game’s ticket sales benefit Ronald McDonald House Charities of Augusta. Johannsen Sport- ing Goods was a lead sponsor of this event. Funds were used to purchase Russell Athletic game uniforms that will be used for the next five Border Bowls. • Each player received a Badger Sport logo practice jersey, ¼ pullover and t-shirt. • Each coach received a Badger Sport logo ¼ zip pullover, polo shirt and The Game cap • 12 cheerleaders were selected for each team and they also received a Badger Sport logo ¼ zip pullover and tights

There were 4,500 fans in at t endance for the game and $17,500 was raised or the Ronald Mc Do n a l d

House in Augusta. These funds are used to help main- tain housing for the families of children being treated for cancer at local medical facilities. The scoreboard showed that Georgia won 35 to South Carolina’s 21 but everyone in attendance knows that the Ronald Mc- Donald House-Augusta is the real winner.

Johannsen’s also used their Sporting Chance funds to purchase Jugs pitching ma- chines and batting cage nets and donated them to local leagues in need.

Johannsen Sporting Goods is grateful for the Nancy H. Wil- son Sporting Chance Award. They were able to purchase 100% of their donated goods and apparel from Sports, Inc. approved suppliers at their cost which makes the donations go even farther.
